Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) convert electricity to kinetic energy, and vice versa; thus, they can be used for energy storage. High technology devices that directly use mechanical energy are currently in development, thus this scientific field is among the hottest, not only for mobile, but also for stationary applications.
The flywheel was brought to full speed (9,000 rotations per minute [rpm]) which is equivalent to the maximum energy storage capacity of 32kWh for the M32 flywheel. Using custom controls software, the speed was increased to 9,653 rpm which is a 15% overstress condition to the flywheel rotor.
A flywheel system stores energy mechanically in the form of kinetic energy by spinning a mass at high speed. Electrical inputs spin the flywheel rotor and keep it spinning until called upon to release the stored energy. The amount of energy available and its duration is controlled by the mass and speed of the flywheel.
